Mitt Romney is holding a private Republican retreat where Republicans and their big money donors with gather to hear Romney interview none other than Obama’s former Vice President Joe Biden:
SLTRIB – Just days after launching a new political action committee, former Democratic Vice President Joe Biden will join Republican officials and donors at a weekend retreat hosted by former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
Biden will be interviewed by Romney during a Friday evening event in Park City, at the invitation-only summit, according to a Biden spokesman and participants briefed on the schedule. The speaker lineup for what is traditionally a gathering of Romney allies is packed with high-profile Republicans, among them House Speaker Paul Ryan and Sens. Lindsey Graham and John McCain.
Biden spokeswoman Kate Bedingfield confirmed Biden’s attendance Monday ahead of the three-day conference, which starts Thursday.
“Biden is attending because he believes in bipartisanship and the importance of keeping good lines of communication open across the aisle,” she said.
The former vice president, 74, last week unveiled a political action committee that stoked fresh speculation he may seek the presidency in 2020. The committee, named American Possibilities PAC, allows him to raise money for candidates, pay for politically related travel costs and maintain relationships with donors.
Trump declined an invitation to attend the annual gathering, which has featured Democrats such as David Axelrod in the past.
I”m not sure how big of a deal this is, as they point out David Axelrod was there in the past. It’s also not an official Congressional Republican retreat.
But at the same time I wish I were reading they were interviewing a principled conservative with values, as opposed to someone who is dedicated to the destruction of the conservative agenda.
But you know what they say, RINOs gonna RINO.
